About the Treatment
Laser Skin Resurfacing in Camas & Vancouver, WA
Years of sun, old breakouts, and simple time leave a record on skin — uneven tone across the cheeks, rough texture that makeup settles into, acne scars that stopped fading a decade ago. Resurfacing works by removing that damaged surface layer and prompting the skin underneath to rebuild.
Searching for laser skin resurfacing near me in the Vancouver or Camas, WA area? At Body Balance Health & Aesthetics Medicine in Camas, Fotona resurfacing treats fine lines, uneven tone and texture, sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring across the face, neck, and décolletage. Resurfacing is performed exclusively by Alana Berdiyev, DNP, ARNP, our onsite medical director, who holds an Advanced Fotona Laser Medicine Certification — because depth judgment on this treatment carries real consequences. HSA/FSA eligibility may vary by treatment and should be confirmed with your plan.
"Resurfacing is the treatment where depth judgment matters most. Set it wrong for the skin type and you cause the very damage you were trying to undo — which is why I keep this one in my own hands." — Alana Berdiyev, DNP, ARNP, FNP-C · Medical Director & Founder, Body Balance Med
How It Works
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing — and How Does It Work?
Fotona's Er:YAG wavelength removes damaged surface skin cells with precision while heating the deeper dermis enough to trigger new collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother texture, more even tone, and a gradual reduction in fine lines and scarring as the skin rebuilds itself over the following weeks.
Treatment depth is genuinely customizable — from a light pass with a day of redness to a more intensive session for deeper acne scarring. Your provider selects the depth based on your goals, your skin type, and how much downtime you can realistically take.

Acne Scar Revision — Camas & Vancouver, WA
Acne scars are the concern we're asked about most on this page, and they behave differently from general sun damage or fine lines. Depressed scars are structural — the tissue beneath the surface is genuinely missing — so treating them means stimulating new collagen to fill from below, not simply polishing the top.
That's why acne scar revision runs deeper and often longer than a cosmetic resurfacing series. We'll be direct at consultation about how much improvement is realistic for your specific scar pattern. Meaningful softening is achievable for most patients; complete erasure generally is not, and we won't tell you otherwise to sell a package.

- Softens depressed and textured scarring
- Builds collagen from beneath the scar

Meet Your Provider
Your Resurfacing Provider in Camas & Vancouver, WA
Resurfacing is the one laser treatment we don't share out. Depth is a clinical judgment call — set it wrong for the skin type and you cause the pigment damage and scarring you were trying to correct. Every resurfacing and acne scar revision session at Body Balance is performed personally by our medical director.
Alana founded Body Balance on a conviction that patients in Camas and Vancouver, WA deserve the same standard of clinical care in an aesthetics setting they'd expect from any medical practice — and as onsite medical director, she is here and hands-on for it.
Resurfacing sits at the more aggressive end of the laser menu. Reading how a given skin type will respond at a given depth, and knowing when to hold back, is the difference between renewal and injury — so Alana keeps this treatment in her own hands rather than delegating it.
Her Advanced Fotona Laser Medicine Certification means every plan is built around your skin type, your history, and your goals — not a preset machine program. Her background in surgical, oncology, and women's health nursing informs a conservative, safety-first approach.

Clinical Standards
Your Safety, Our Standard
Choosing where to receive laser resurfacing is a medical decision. Depth and settings must be matched to your skin type — this is the treatment where getting that wrong carries the most risk. Here's how Body Balance approaches that responsibility.
Medical-Grade Fotona Platform
We treat exclusively on the Fotona dual-wavelength (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) medical laser system — a platform used in dermatology and gynecology worldwide, maintained and calibrated to manufacturer specification. No off-brand devices, no consumer-grade equipment.
Certified Laser Provider, Every Session
Resurfacing is performed by Alana Berdiyev, DNP, ARNP, FNP-C — our onsite medical director, who holds an Advanced Fotona Laser Medicine Certification. Never a technician, never a rotating contractor, and never delegated on this treatment.
Skin Type Assessment First
Laser complications most often come from treating the wrong skin type at the wrong setting. We assess your Fitzpatrick skin type, sun exposure history, and medication list before a single pass — and adjust wavelength, fluence, and pulse duration accordingly.
Eye Protection & Safety Protocols
Wavelength-specific protective eyewear is worn by every person in the room, every session, without exception. Our treatment room follows medical laser safety protocols — controlled access, correct signage, and verified device settings before each pass.
Conservative Settings, Built to Escalate
We start at conservative settings and build intensity across your series as your skin demonstrates how it responds. You can always go deeper at the next session — you cannot undo an aggressive first pass.
Emergency Preparedness
Our clinic maintains emergency protocols consistent with best practices for medical aesthetic procedures. Alana's high-acuity hospital background — surgical nursing, oncology, and women's health — brings a depth of patient-management experience to our safety protocols.
Patient Selection
Not Everyone Is a Candidate — And That's the Point
Being selective about who we treat is part of how we practice safely. At every consultation, your provider assesses whether treatment is appropriate right now — not just whether it's possible. A good provider declines when the conditions aren't right. We do.

Laser skin resurfacing addresses fine lines, uneven tone and texture, sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring by removing damaged surface cells and stimulating new collagen production in the layers beneath.
Acne scar revision uses a deeper, more targeted approach aimed at breaking down scar tissue and building new collagen beneath depressed areas. General resurfacing treats the overall skin surface for tone and texture. Scar revision usually requires more sessions.
Most patients see meaningful improvement across 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Deeper acne scarring often benefits from additional sessions. Your provider builds a specific plan at consultation rather than selling a fixed package.
Downtime depends on the depth you choose — from minimal, with a day or two of redness, to several days of redness and light peeling for more intensive sessions. Your provider will help you pick a depth that fits your schedule.
Fotona's platform can be used safely across a wide range of skin tones, but resurfacing is the treatment where matching settings to skin type matters most. A consultation and skin assessment confirms your candidacy and the right parameters before any treatment.
Some improvement in tone and texture is visible within days of healing. Collagen-driven improvements to fine lines and scarring continue developing over the following weeks and months, which is why results are assessed across the full series rather than after one session.
Resurfacing is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active infection, open wounds, or inflamed skin, on recently sun-exposed or sunburned skin, within 6–12 months of isotretinoin (Accutane) use, or for patients taking photosensitizing medications. Active or recurrent cold sores (HSV) in or near the treatment area may require antiviral prophylaxis before treatment, since laser can trigger an outbreak. A history of keloid scarring also requires careful evaluation. Your provider will review your full medical history and medications at consultation and will decline treatment when the conditions aren't right.
Pricing depends on treatment depth, area, and the number of sessions in your plan. We provide a transparent estimate during your consultation. HSA/FSA eligibility may vary by treatment and should be confirmed with your plan. Cherry financing with 0% APR options for qualifying purchases is available.
Yes. Resurfacing is commonly used to reduce sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation by targeting pigmented cells and encouraging smoother, more even skin turnover across the treated area.
